White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced last Tuesday that “Masks are back.” President Joe Biden, who has been quadruple-vaccinated and tested negative for COVID-19 for two weeks has supposedly chosen to wear one. First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for the virus.
According to Jean-Pierre Biden chose to resume wearing masks indoors as a preventive measure against the threat of the “new variant” of COVID-19.
The president’s recent actions and statements have opened up a debate on whether mask-wearing was ever effective against COVID.

Masks are back, or maybe not
On Wednesday, President Biden walked into the White House State Dining Room holding a black face mask, jokingly telling reporters, “Let me explain to the press: I’ve been tested again today. I’m clear across the board.”
Then he went on to say, “But they keep telling me because this has to be 10 days or something, I’ve got to keep wearing it. But don’t tell them I didn’t have it on when I walked in.”
